I speak to people all across the county and the state in my current job as a State Representative and now as a candidate for Allegheny County Executive and the high price of housing and rents is something I hear about more than nearly any other issue. It is on the minds of everyone, whether […]
To date, Mike Lamb is the first and only candidate for County Chief Executive to respond to this Q&A. Others have requested, but not returned a completed Q&A yet. Make of that what you will. Housing is the most basic of human needs and rights. Affordable housing needs to be a priority for our next […]
This is Q&A number 20 in our 2023 series, a new record for us. We have several still outstanding. It is not too late to refer the candidates whose name you don’t see in our list at the end of this post. In the time since Councilman Kraus’s first election, we have elected a number […]
A culturally competent leader is informed to understand the underlying causes of behavior and driven to provide the individual with the resources and opportunity to improve and be a better version of themselves. Conversely, a culturally competent leader is also able to identify public shortcomings that affect marginalized communities and the courage to educate when appropriate. The next post […]
I am committed to hosting legal educational series from this court. We can have clinics and workshops on landlord tenant law, livable housing conditions, expungements, traffic law, gun law, bail, and other legal subject matter.

A connected city would include a reimagined bus system, bike trails, safe sidewalks, and a feasibility study of light rail expansion. Our next post of our […]
Much of the zoning in the South Hills is extremely exclusionary such that multi-family units cannot be built in wide swaths of communities like Bethel Park and Upper St. Clair. We have a fantastic resource in the T, but it can’t be fully utilized because high density housing can’t be built near most of the stops. […]
I firmly believe in the importance of nurturing the whole child, not just their academic achievements. With my experience in educational leadership, I understand that a student’s success is not just measured by test scores, but by their social-emotional well-being, physical health, and personal growth. I will work to ensure that our schools prioritize a […]
[T]he board has passed several policies in an attempt to target LGBTQIA students. Anti-LGBTQIA bullying has increased.
